There ya go, Marilyn!!!

I just got confirmation that my order is in for two more from Superstition. I sent the request before you posted that new introduction Greg! Now I'll have to save my pennies and see if I can buy that one too!

I added:

Icefall


Celebratory


I'm also on a waiting list to see if there are enough of Fruited Plain to get one. They won't know till they see how they do later this year.

Fruited Plain

You could still get Fruited Plain from Sutton perhaps if Superstition doesn't have enough.

I tried to find the craziness scale that we had earlier, but couldn't find it. I think we'll have lots of paddy wagon riders this year.

Really? It is your thread called....."Final Tallies". Here is the scale in your first post on that thread.

Here is the "How many irises did you really order" scale

1 to 30 = Just kid stuff
31 to 50 = A good start
51 to 75 = Slightly off balance
76 to 100 = On the Edge!
101 to 125 = Over the Edge
126 to 150 = Pretty messed up
151 to 175 = You need your head examined
176 to 200 = Bring on the paddy wagon!
over 200 = Men in white coats coming with strait jacket.

I am a baby, kid stuff! I buy other plants though.

Sue, that's me too. When just considering Irises, I'm quite restrained, but add roses, peonies, other perennials, and on and on....well, yeah I'll be on the paddy wagon!

Well, even after severely cutting back.....I'm still "slightly off balance" ! Here's the list of the 55 that I've ordered:

There's probably about 10 of these that won't be available, but , if you don't order them...you DARN sure won't get them ! I'll order a few from the HIPS sale, as well, but ,just a few ! I intend to remain "slightly off balance"

Suslik & Howesie are both I. pumila. good luck with them. Suslik grows much further south than would be expected, but I think not in CA.

I am in the Slightly Off Balance group currently, and really hope to stay On The Edge this year for bearded iris....
Additions to other iris types may put me Over The Edge though.

At the moment I am "Just Kid Stuff", the entry level.

Be careful Greg - those surprise boxes may get you!

So far I am just kids stuff but I am holding a few orders until the web sites open up. If I can keep my head I will be just 'slightly off balance' this year.

I am in the Just Kids Stuff category too.

Ok Leslie...are you going to share the list of what you've added? You must have added quite a few to be in the Slightly Off Balance category! You've been holding out on us!!!

Yes, I know it was one of mine, and I had intended to look at my posts, but got going back over some old threads, and before you know it I had to quit looking. It's kind of fun to go back and look at the previous years bloom seasons.

I have shared most of them in this thread Marilyn! The first 20 on page 1, the next 11 on Page 4, another 8 on Page 5, which leaves
BERMUDA TRIANGLE and HOPTOIT that were ordered with the other 8 on page 5.

And those I old school iris I have wanted for awhile that I ordered from Wild Iris Rows (and listed somewhere on this iris site):
SUNBREAK, OKLAHOMA BANDIT, DEDE DINAH, SPECKLED PUP, GERRY ATWELL, OSAY CANUC, CHERRY BLOSSOM SONG, POEM OF ECSTASY, SPICED CUSTARD, PRAETORIAN GUARD, SUGAR MAGNOLIA & VAPOR

And may I add Marilyn, that you have some pretty impressive iris in your orders so far!

I'm hoping to be only slightly off balance this year.

FYI, not everyone may have those same page numbers, I am only on page 1 for this thread because I have my preferences set to show 400 posts per page. Others may opt for less if they are slower internet speed because of heavy image load time. You know we love our eye candy!

Oops! I didn't remember you posting that many Leslie! I thought you had been buying away without sharing... wrong assumption. Can I blame it on my bad memory?

As for me...so far I have been buying a few of the newer ones I really wanted. I plan to add to those more slowly as I can afford it, and some will be the older less expensive ones (hence the post asking for advice on some of the others). But I'm still really wanting Ready For My Closeup and Velvet Valentine.. plus Duplication, Cotillion Gown, Patchwork Puzzle, Emblematic...and a few others...so I will be saving my pennies over the coming months! I have no idea what category I'll end up in...time will tell!

Arlyn, who is selling Fairy?
